  • 1 minute to read
  • Set the glide.authenticate.session_access.log_audit_event property to true, so that session audit events will be created in the sys_session_access_audit table.

    When the Glide Property glide.authenticate.session_access.log_audit_event is set to true, session audit events will be created in the sys_session_access_audit table. It is best practice to log information about who accessed a session to assist in malicious actor investigations. Information logged will include user, session ID (non-sensitive), IP address, roles, and policies.

    Note:
    The glide.authenticate.session_access.log_audit_event system property is specific to Zero trust access. For more information, see Zero Trust Access.
